Stayed at IF Inn for 8 days from 15th February to 23rd February. Picked this hotel as it was centrally located. 15 minute walk to Taipei Main Station which is a straight walk down from the hotel. There is also another train station near by, Daqiaotou Station which is a 4-5 minute walk away. The hotel itself is located in the Datong District which feels like you are living among the locals. Night markets are also near by.
Hotel itself was spacious enough. Queen bed with lounge, air conditioning, small lounge and with a bidet toilet. The room was clean and, there is also a washing machine, but no dryer. If you need to dry your clothes there are several laundry services near by.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you want to experience Taipei and its culture as it’s an old district with many temples. The service was great, as they clean the rooms everyday. Check-in is done via a AI machine, however if you have problems there is an intercom service where you can speak to a human who are all very helpful. However, during the week there is someone at the front desk.
The location is a bit hard to find as the entrance is just around the corner from what the actual address is (10 seconds away). I went during ***** new year so the escalators were shut on the main street and so were most of the shops, however at night it is bustling with many local attractions nearby which you can walk to or take the MRT which is very efficient.
I would stay here again when I come back to visit Taipei. Taiwan is a beautiful place and cannot wait to go back again. Locals are very helpful as well.
I took photos of the room while we had occupied it for a few days, so don’t mind the mess.
